She said that a strategy for hiring someone needs to be set up and follow ed, regardless of the size of the business. A common mistake that an employer makes is to decide on whether to hire a person in the first five minutes of an in terview. “If the interviewer will hold what I call a ‘track record’ interview, both parties involved will feel more at ease, and the employer will have an objective basis on which to judge the z applicant,” Webb said. The track record interview includes a form on which the major job functions are listed. The interviewer describes the job element and then asks how the applicant feels he or she fits into that element. Aside from giving the employer a good idea of the prospect’s talents, the form can be used later on to evaluate an employee’s progress in the job.
